Crappie Chick 03/29, 04/07, 04/10
Here is a quick summary of the last few trips:
On 03/29 we started in spawning area and picked up a few and then hit a few docks, wound up keeping 11 with the biggest being 14" and the overall quality of what we caught was good. We probably threw back another 10-15, I caught more on docks and structure.
I fished again on 04/07 I started a little late (8:00AM and quit just before 11) and the spawn was in full swing - the males had on their tuxedos and anywhere I caught one fish I would pick up 4 or 5 more, I did not keep any fish but did actually keep count this time - I caught 15 keeper size fish in just a couple hours and caught around 20 keeper size when I stopped just before 11am - the biggest was just over 14" and quite a few over 12" - overall a very fun morning.
I took a friend from work on 04/10, he wanted some crappie to eat, we started at daybreak and fished until just after lunch and kept 26. The biggest was 13" and the fish were more scattered than 04/07 and the males were not as dark as a few days earlier. Out of the fish he cleaned only one still had eggs and the rest just had the yellow dye. We also picked up a few in spawning areas but we caught more on docks and structure.
We were using various BG jigs with 1/32 or 1/24oz heads each day and here are a few picks:
The first pick is from 04/10, the second is from 03/29, and the third and fourth are from 04/07.
